Chapter 428 Rejection
Speople recognized the person in the photo with Violeta as the producer of "The Chosen One," leading to
speculation that Violeta had already been in contact with the show's production team. Meanwhile, Zelena felt a
wave of anxiety wash over her.
If Violeta also expressed interest in "The Chosen One," Zelena knew she wouldn't stand a chance against her.
Violeta currently had both popularity and buzz. If she confirmed her participation, securing sponsorship would be
effortless. There would be no sponsors she couldn't attract.
A sense of panic gripped Zelena. "I can't just sit here and do nothing. | have to secure this role," she thought to
herself.
A few days ago, Zelena had called her parents. She asked them to cover and have a meal with the
producers of "The Chosen One" as potential investors.
They had now arrived in Quinston and were staying at a hotel.
Suddenly, an idea sparked in Zelena's mind. She could have her parents leverage their family connection with
Violeta, persuading her to step back from "The Chosen One." Zelena quickly picked up her phone and called her
mother.
"Hello, Mom."
The next day.

The producer of "The Chosen One" contacted Eugene to discuss the possibility of Violeta making a special guest
appearance as the goddess Elara.
Violeta's status had risen, and her fees had increased substantially, which was beyond their budget.
To persuade Eugene, the producer even brought in an old friend as a mediator.
Given the circumstances, Eugene accepted the script and left the final decision to Violeta.
If she liked the character, she could make a special guest appearance.
If not, they would have to decline.
The script was then handed to Violeta.
In truth, Violeta didn't need to read the script; she was already familiar with the plot of "The Chosen One."
She was aware that "The Chosen One" would beca classic in the years to come, so she had heard about it.
Violeta had no objections to the script itself.
She simply didn't want to work with Zelena and Hattie.
Whether it was for personal reasons or to avoid being compared to them on screen, Violeta wasn't interested in
collaborating.
There were plenty of classic works out there, and making the right choices was important.
She wasn't greedy enough to take on everything.
Eugene reassured her, "Alright, | understand. I'll decline their offer tomorrow."
Violeta replied, "Thanks, Eugene."
Eugene added, "It wasn't even that great a rate, very minor. It doesn't even qualify as the third lead. If they
hadn't involved my friend as a mediator, | wouldn't have bothered with the script at all."
Given Violeta's current status, she had her pick of the best scripts in the industry.
Why settle for a small role?
In the afternoon, as Violeta and Aster were leaving the company for her next event, there were two people
waiting for Violeta outside. When Violeta and Aster emerged from the elevator, the receptionist hurried over and
said, "Ms. White, someone is here to meet you." Aster inquired, "Who? Here at the company?"
The receptionist glanced towards the two people seated on the lounge sofas in the lobby.
Upon closer inspection, Violeta realized the visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Blake.
Her brow furrowed in confusion.
Unfamiliar with them, Aster assumed they were fans seeking an autograph.
"What are they doing here? We have another appointment to get to. Tell them they can't wait around here."
The receptionist looked flustered. "I

did tell them to leave, but they don't seem like typical fans. They insisted on waiting. | even told them Ms. White
wasn't in, but they seem certain she's here."
Aster was perplexed. "That's strange."
Violeta's expression remained neutral. "Well, | know them. Let's go talk to them."
Aster's curiosity was piqued. "What? Ms. White, you know them? Who are they?"
As Violeta approached the couple, she explained to Aster in a hushed tone, "They are Zelena's parents, and they
used to be my adoptive parents." Aster was taken aback.
Violeta had previously confided in
her about the incident with Zelena at
Toland University, where Mr. and
Mrs. Blake had shown blatant
favoritism towards Zelena without understanding the full story.
Their presence here had to be for a significant reason.
They wouldn't seek out Violeta without a pressing matter.
That year, after Zelena's expulsion from Toland University for embezzling funds, Mr. and Mrs. Blake finally
discovered the truth about Violeta's biological parents.
